Social Media Policy
Social Media Guidelines for Nurses: https://www.ncsbn.org/NCSBN_SocialMedia.pdf
Social media use is ubiquitous, but inappropriate posts by nurses have resulted in
licensure and legal repercussions. NCSBN has developed guidelines for nurses and nursing
students for using social media responsibly. Key points of these guidelines are summarized,
along with dramatization of potential scenarios of inappropriate social media use.
Codes of Conduct
Student and Faculty Codes of Conduct:
In consideration of concerns or formal complaints, the established codes of conduct for faculty, students, and staff will be used to guide decision making. The following codes of conduct apply:
ETSU Employee Conduct
https://www.etsu.edu/human-resources/relations/procedures.php
ETSU Student Conduct, including but not limited to:
- Honor Code and Honor Pledge, http://catalog.etsu.edu/content.php?catoid=7&navoid=295#Honor_Code
- Information Technology Code of Ethics, http://catalog.etsu.edu/content.php?catoid=7&navoid=295#Information_Technology_Code_of_Ethics
- Disciplinary Offenses, http://catalog.etsu.edu/content.php?catoid=7&navoid=295#Disciplinary_Offenses
- Academic and Classroom Misconduct, http://catalog.etsu.edu/content.php?catoid=7&navoid=295#Disciplinary_Offenses
In addition the College of Nursing will use the American Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for Nurses and the Code of Ethics: Part II Code of Academic and Clinical Conduct and Interpretive Statements from the National Student Nurses’ Association as guides for determination of appropriate conduct of faculty, administration, and nursing students.
The following codes of ethics apply:

Progression Policy
The following progression policy applies to all PhD students who were admitted Fall 2018 semester and later.
1. Students in graduate nursing programs must meet the requirements of the School of Graduate Studies to remain in good standing. An overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 (B) or better must be maintained.
2. In addition, a nursing student must achieve a “B” (3.0) or better in every required course in the graduate nursing program. Policies of the School of Graduate Studies for progression will apply.
3. If a student’s cumulative grade point average falls below 3.0, she/he will be placed on academic probation the following semester. If the student does not achieve a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of one probationary semester, the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies and the Associate Dean for Academic Programs in the College of Nursing will determine if the student should be dismissed from graduate study or continued on academic probation. No student will be allowed more than two probationary semesters, whether consecutive or cumulative. At the end of a second probationary semester, a student whose cumulative grade point average is still below 3.0 will be dismissed from graduate study.
4. Students whose performance results in a GPA so far below 3.0 as to make it mathematically impossible to attain an overall GPA of 3.0 after one semester may be subject to dismissal without a probationary term.
5. An incomplete grade (“I”) indicates that the student was passing the course at the end of the semester, but due to circumstances beyond the student’s control, was unable to complete the course work for which the “I” is assigned. The “I” grade cannot be used to allow a student to do additional work to raise a deficient grade or to repeat a course. An “I” grade must be removed no later than one calendar year from the time the grade is awarded. Time extension requests for removal of an “I” grade must be submitted to and approved by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies before the allotted time expires. An “I” grade not removed under the guidelines in the Graduate Catalog will be converted to an “F.”
6. Students who wish to change from part-time to full-time status must submit a written request to the College of Nursing’s Office of Student Services. Request will be approved on an individual basis, taking into consideration the student’s academic performance and available clinical slots.
